Zoe Ball is one of the UK's most well known presenters. She appears on BBC's Radio 2, and was the former host of Strictly: It Takes Two. Ball recently shared a video on Instgaram of herself in the gym. In it, she is seen doing things like using a treadmill, hip thrusts, and pulley rows. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Zoe Ball stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
She Uses A Treadmill
Ball is seen on the treadmill in her Instagram post. According to Healthy Talbot, this has a lot of benefits. "Treadmill working is an aerobic/ cardio exercise. Studies demonstrate that aerobic exercise can minimize the risk of heart diseases. Moreover, they can strengthen your heart muscles. This helps to lower blood pressure and allows the heart to pump blood more efficiently. Most doctors recommend aerobic exercise to people suffering from cardiovascular diseases."
She Does Hip Thrusts

Ball is also seen doing hip thrusts with a weight in her Instagram post. Gymless states that these are a very effective workout. "Hip thrusts are a controlled and powerful movement, mainly focusing on the glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core. This exercise is vital for developing a stronger posterior chain, contributing to improved athletic performance, alleviating lower back pain, and enhancing overall physique. Considering that about 65 million Americans experience some form of back pain, hip thrusts are a great exercise to include in your routine."
She Loves Almonds

Ball tells Woman & Home that she loves almonds. "I love a snack and, like many people, I do find it difficult to say no to the sugary treats. I make sure not to deny myself the odd treat, as I am a firm believer in everything in moderation, but I do need to make sure I plan ahead to stop me from grazing throughout the day. On most sets, the crew always seem to have some delicious tempting treats nearby – I find that if I've got a packet of almonds around, a handful is a great snack – I'm now offering them to everyone!"
She Does Challenges

Ball tells Women & Home that she likes to do healthy eating challenges. "I've recently taken the 21 Day Snack Happy challenge – snacking on a handful of almonds once a day for 21 days – and this is definitely an idea I can recommend. 21 days is the amount of time it takes to break a habit, so you can take the challenge and pick up a healthier snacking habit, without even realising you've done it – it's just so easy!"
She Plans Her Food Options

Ball also told Women & Home that she likes to plan her food options, so she doesn't snack on unhealthy ones. "My job is a demanding one, I often find myself rushing around from the radio station to a meeting or filming. Particularly when we are filming Strictly and I'm doing radio at same time, I find that I burn huge amounts of energy and that makes me very hungry. I've learnt over time that thinking ahead and having some healthy and nutritious snacks between meals, does keep me going throughout the day – which means I don't dive into the biscuit tin or chocolates on set!"
